We propose a methodological approach that addresses game-based teaching to enhance skills in tennis. This is based on a diagnostic of decisional behaviour on performance contexts, intervention results from manipulation of key constraints either at task, performer or environment level. The purpose is to guide players’ attention to relevant informational sources based on their own actions. In this way, intervention helps players to detect better information to guide more effective actions. Learning occurs based on situations that allow players to autonomously detect and use better information highlighted in the task, and that allows them to discover unique solutions, based on each player’s unique characteristics.
